Since the new laws, has anyone requested keeping a pet?

I’ve been keeping my two cats on the low prior to the change in laws and would place them at my neighbours the night before an inspection.

I can’t be bothered doing this every 3 months now and might just come clean to request keeping them. What did you email your letting agency/landlord?

I can only think of the fact they aren’t kittens so are potty trained etc. The only thing they could damage are the carpets, but they don’t do that.

Every piece of furnish is my own, not the landlords.

I’m tempted to lie and say we have pet insurance lol just to keep the landlord at ease.

For those who started off with nothing, and then became HENRY, how did you deal with the change?

I grew up in a household where my father was the sole earner and had to support 6 of us. Wouldn't say we were poor, but we managed. Having said that, I am now in a situation where at 27, I am very close to HENRY (£111k myself, £27k wife) - a role away from hitting £150k.

Having said that, I am not used to this type of money. I had my fun in my early 20s, earning £40k lol, and that was enough! I went on holidays, had fun with cars, so a lot is out of my system.

As I am now wanting to jump on the property market, I am prioritising this, but my brain has hit a block of "no holidays", "no car repairs", just make up for my early 20s of spending and not really saving.

How did you balance this mental switch? If you read between the lines, my '99 XJR may need a £3k repair bill, and I'm not sure what to do.

Maybe one for therapy, but I want to do it all. Give my wife and I a lovely home to start a family, and take her out. But I also want to give back to my old man, who worked his ass off for us all. I want to help my family as I am the first to get here. Yes, I am aware of being wary of who to help, but I want to give my siblings and parents a better life.

My good gents, I am to soon rekindle my love for clothing. Help me with leather, please.

I spent many years buying jackets before I had other responsibilities in life. I now find myself in a better financial situation and soon to be lean which brings me into the topic of question.

I require a lovely brown leather jacket, but essentially want to buy it for life. My budget is £500, although I am not sure if this is enough.

I adore this design, but it is vegan leather which I believe may not last long and will start to crumble. It is the Yves in Brown by manieredevoir. Anything similar and I’d be sold.

Ideally, a flat feeling leather jacket that would compliment a cigar.

Need help understanding apps for WiFi controls?

I had an Eero device and I absolutely loved the app. One click to block ads and it was nice to see metrics. I love numbers and it was neat not having to login a web portal to view them.

Having said that, I had to return my Eero device in favour for my FTTP EE line…there’s no app like it.

Yes, I’d assume no true third party app would give me such an insight but on the off chance, is there I installed UniFi but I don’t think that exists.

Is my only option to buy a new router?

Which sim racing game shall I install? I want to learn the Silverstone circuit

Long story short, I won't have the whole setup. Just me and my old PS5 controller on PC.

For context, I will be applying for my Motorsport UK licence in a few months and want to know the circuit inside out. Ideally, I would love to install a mod (if it exists) to race in a Jaguar X308. Is Assestto the best bet?

UK - need insight into joining this world..

I've always loved cars since I was a kid. Throughout the years, I have grown fond of British classic cars, particularly Jaguars. So much that I've owned 3 XJ8s, my latest being the XJR. Other than that, my daily is a 2001 Range Rover P38.

Before I digress, I'm 27 and want to enter the world of racing as a 'casual'. This would be more of a hobby vs trying to enter the big leagues (no idea what that is plus probably too old). To my limited knowledge, to enter this world, I need to:

  1. Buy the Motorsport UK Starter Pack
  2. Book a course with ARDS
  3. Apply for the Motosport UK licence

After this, I've no clue.

I'm aware this is a rich man's sport. The only reason I am now considering entering this world is that I can afford it now. Realistically, I may just do the ARDS course and realise this is not for me, but I'd like to try.

Will a WiFi 7 PCIe card allow me to hit 1.6gbps, or is it ulimately only Ethernet?

I should preface the line was installed 30mins ago.

My PC maxes at 940 Mbps, but that's because it's running a 1 Gigabit Realtek LAN controller, so I could buy a 2.5Gb PCIe network card. The issue is, I'd rather avoid wires if I can (living in a rental)

Ethernet
I've been reading some posts on here about people hitting 1.6gbps via WiFi. Would a WiFi 7 PCIe dongle work just fine to get those speeds? I know ethernet is king, but I'd like to know if there's a possibility of hitting those speeds via WiFi.

I currently use a Phillips trimmer to fade my beard using 0mm-2mm guards. This works well, but I need something much sharper to line up my beard. I use a cut-throat razor, but my skin is sensitive and doesn't appreciate the cuts.

I've seen this BaByliss PRO - Clippers - Cordless Super Motor Collection, but I do not need the clippers. The trimmer is ideal, but there are no guards.

Is there a beard trimmer that cuts sharply?
